Overplaying Egyptomania

Egypt’s pavillion at the Shanghai Expo 2010 misses the mark of modernity and dwells excessively on the country’s ancient past.

After his killing spree, Payton Gendron was going to shoot himself in the neck but police talked him down, before arresting him. This is how policing should be. If only unarmed black Americans were treated with the same respect for human life. #BuffaloNY #BlackLivesMatter

The reprehensible terrorist attack in Buffalo, New York, illustrates how Donald Trump may be gone but toxic white supremacy continues to poison America because Trump was a symptom of a deeper socio-economic and political malaise, not its cause. #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteSupremacy

@amgechter That's the problem: many kids cannot afford to bring their own food to school, so miss lunch, or they get cheap junk like crisps because their parents can't afford to give them healthy food.

The killing of Shireen Abu Aqleh and the subsequent desecration of her funeral undermines the Israeli narrative that Israel is a protector and ally of Christians in the Holy Land, whom, it claims, are neither Palestinian nor Arab. #ShireenAbuAqla chronikler.com/middle-east/is…

Shireen Abu Aqleh was unable to reach her final resting place in peace, and Palestinians were unable to mourn unharassed. In a just world, a shocking scene like this should be the final nail in the coffin of the Israeli occupation. #Shireen_Abu_Akleh pic.twitter.com/qmUIIT5i1Z

As prices and poverty rise, as many as one in four children in Belgian schools go without lunch, experts estimate (no official statistics exist). That children should go hungry in one of the world's wealthiest countries is unacceptable and shameful. We need free school lunches

If the sight of a Palestinian flag causes Israeli forces to attack the funeral procession of a slain journalist, leading Shireen Abu Aqleh's coffin to fall to the ground, then the prospects for peace are dimmer than ever. Disgusting disrespect. #ShireenAbuAkleh #شيرين_أبوعاقلة

@DiabolicalIdea See, the problem is with *recreational* energy drink use. :>) For actual endurance athletes, they're a big help. But since I'm long-retired from triathlon, yeah, just gimme coffee.

The #Cryptocrash reminds me of why I've never invested in cryptocurrencies. Not only were they a bubble waiting to blow up and ruin lives, but cryptocurrencies also deprive states of revenue, facilitate tax evasion and fraud, and are a disaster for the climate #terraluna #Bitcoin

@NPR Here's to hoping Elon pulls out of the deal. Twitter doesn't need him.
